What do you think the pitch will be to get smith, dobard, and possibly rsj?? Lsu's history w tight ends isn't nearly as productive as other positions... We also have Gordon & Thomas coming in this year.

Will it take a year of mettenberger airing it out??

RSJ isn't a TE.

Since when are TEs overly productive anywhere?

I think the only one you can say is a real threat in the SEC is Orson Charles...

It looks like we are heading in that direction. I'm enjoying how we are going after all these young men

In all likelihood, won't be an issue.

Not going to get all three.

Have been told to forget altogether about the services of one for sure.

Our TEs are both slightly underutilized and insanely overrated by LSU fans.

Way too optimistic we will run it up the middle more than pass attempts

LSU & Tight ends


LSU as well as many schools get Tight ends because they are Athletic big guys, they can become O Line or D Line, they can be Full Backs, I've seen Saban,Miles, Urban.... go after these guys and put them to use wherever they evolve.

Stephen Peterman was a tight end in High School
Henry Thomas was also a Tight end in High School

go back and look at how many kids were tightends coming out of high school only to end up something else.
